My wife wants to get me a subscription of one of these for christmas and was curious which one was better.

Any comments would be appreciated..

Jim, BTM is probably the best.  BJ is good, but it is slanted some what towards the business side of bowling.

I like the articles more in BJI.  BTM is good for the ball stuff but I'm biased towards BJI, lots and lots of insider info, especially on what's going on on tour.

I like the BTM the best, but I've only gotten it twice in the last 4 months. Subscription expires in February. I may not renew if their service doesn't improve. Prior to the last 4 months, I normally received it between the 18th and 22nd of each month. When it comes time to renew, I wonder if they will still have a problem finding my mailbox?...lol

Brickguy - call them and let them know you've had a problem. They'll take care of you. One of their staff has been out ill - not an excuse, by any means, but some things may have fallen through the cracks.
Give a call!
They can't fix it if they don't know it's broken!

mumzie, I have a hearing handicap and can't call. I E-mailed them Wednesday about my problem and have not heard anything back yet. The other issue they missed during the last four months, I also E-mailed them and got a magazine several days later. I'm just irritated that for years I have had no problems and now all at once I am having problems. If it was a one time thing, I would just blow it off as an error which I did the first time. However twice in 4 months is harder to blow off....lol
